They Are Like Us

If you prick them, they bleed If you tickle them, they laugh. If you poison them, they die The sour is sour for them too. The sweet is sweet for them The chilly is for them also. The bitter remains bitter Their blood too runs red. Light is feather for them, heavy is lead. They are like us. They have nose, ears and eyes The only difference is material. Some travel by foot, others by air Don't treat them differently They are the same humans Give them all the joys Which is the joy of every face. Give them all they want Don't badger, ridicule or at them taunt, the same sky, stars, sun and moon they share and breathe the same air...
